forafriend	How much would it be to transfer a title for a 2006 Subaru Outback station wagon? And emissions test? We were told the way they find out is by the bluebook value. Is that correct? I thought it was by how much it was bought for. My friend bought it for $1,500.

Every state has its own rules. Many use a book value to calculate the state sales or excise tax. Its too easy to present a fake receipt to minimize the sales tax at the MVA office so they use book value - at least up to a certain age, like 10 years or value. There are other fees that vary from state to state with no two states the same.

Every state MVA or DOT office has a website that explains the costs.
